Our candidate Zoe Leventhal KC has decided to withdraw from the General Election campaign in Kenilworth & Southam, for family reasons, and she will remain a Town Councillor.
Zoe said:
“I'd like to thank all the amazing volunteers and supporters who have been part of the campaign so far. I have really enjoyed getting to know communities and groups across the villages and towns in the constituency, and building really positive connections.
It has been such a difficult decision to have to step down, but it is the right one for me and my family at this time.
I am looking forward to continuing my work on Kenilworth Town Council, supporting residents in Abbey Ward, and focussing on several important local projects. I wish my Green Party colleagues every success in the continuation of the party's General Election campaign”
Cllr James Kennedy from the Kenilworth Green Party, said:
“I'm very sorry Zoe has had to step down as General Election candidate. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for everything she has achieved over the past six months since her campaign started.
She's encouraged so many people across the constituency to consider voting Green for the first time and created a strong momentum for positive change which will continue with our new candidate.
The Green Party messages of a fairer greener future, stronger communities and doing politics better have never been more needed and so well received in Kenilworth and Southam.”
Warwick District Green Party will shortly make an announcement about a new candidate for the Kenilworth & Southam constituency for the forthcoming General Election.
